This is a solid, guitar driven, rock song with an aggressive dance beat.

Story Behind the Song

I met lyricist Howard Wand through an AOL songwriter's group. He had written some good country songs and I asked him for the lyrics for a dance rock song and this is what he came up with. I asked Dave Holodnak of Connecticut to record the song for me. Dave's band had opened up for the Olympics in Los Angeles in the 1980's.

Lyrics

Shadow of a Doubt

(Verse 1)
We fought about the party,
Where you danced with him too long.
You said you were just flirting,
And I couldn't be more wrong.

Maybe it just looked bad,
but the evidence was there.
When I saw the way your eyes met his,
I knew you didn't care...

(Chorus)
It's beyond a ...
Shadow of a doubt (background singers) Circumstantial evidence;
What you're telling me (Beyond a shadow of a doubt).
That's what it's all about. (Circumstantial evidence)
Beyond a Shadow of a doubt. (Singer and Background)

Instrumental Interlude

(Verse 2)
You said he's nothing special,
But your face reads like a book.
Don't think your story's better,
Than the way it really looks.

Maybe it just looked bad,
But the evidence was there.
When I saw the way your eyes met his,
I knew you didn't care...

(Chorus)
It's beyond a ...
Shadow of a doubt (background singers) Circumstantial evidence;
What you're telling me (Beyond a shadow of a doubt).
That's what it's all about. (Circumstantial evidence)
Beyond a Shadow of a doubt. (Singer and Background)
